“Are we going home?” I asked him. He turned back to look at me, a smile appearing on his lips. “Not yet,” he told me. “I want to take you somewhere.” The guards that had been following us around, the ones I almost forgot were present, stood tall as Xaden whispered something to them. They looke
Maeve’s POV My heart was racing as I sat in the doctor’s office. Kenneth called us last night to tell us that the appointment was set for this morning. Xaden sat by my side the entire time and held my hand while the doctor performed the test. He left to send in the results and now we were waiting
“You don’t have a choice,” the King said firmly, his aura darkening as his anger started to take place. “This is your duty as the royal son, Lucas. You can’t back out of this because it’s not up to you.” Lucas bit his lip and nodded. He wasn’t sure if this was what he wanted, but he knew he didn’t
Mia smiled at him; he was quite handsome. If she weren’t aiming to marry one of the royals, she would have settled for him. She could see his aura clear as day and she knew that he was of the Alpha bloodline. The paparazzi were all chanting for Mia, and she was nearly blinded by the flashing light
Third Person POV “Leave us,” Mia said to her warriors once she was settled in her room. “Settle into your own rooms.” Rachel showed them where their rooms were in passing before taking Mia and Emily to their joined rooms. They were able to throw their belongings into their rooms before joining M
After a moment of pause, Emily finally sighed and nodded, relenting. “I can’t say no to you,” Emily breathed. “But you can’t be long.” “I assure you, I won’t be,” Mia said softly. She quickly changed into the maid’s uniform and Emily grabbed a new outfit for Rachel to wear in the meantime. Mia
It wasn’t a wall she ran into… it was… Xaden… Would he recognize her? Did he even know what she looked like? “Are you alright?” Xaden asked once she was steady. He released his hold on her, and she immediately missed his touch. “Y…yes,” she stammered. She was ashamed of the fact that s
Xaden’s POV That one maid looked so familiar, but I couldn’t figure out where I had seen her before. She was very nervous about being around me, and I wondered if it was because I was a royal, or because of something else. It almost felt like she was hiding something. I brushed the thought out o
“That’s kind of you, but not necessary,” I told him, remembering that the last pristine doctor he set me up with gave a false paternity test and pretty much ruined my life. If it weren’t for that one test, Xaden wouldn’t have strayed to another. “I have a really good doctor that I trust.” Kenneth
Maeve’s POV Victoria gave me a smug look and then stepped away as she turned to face Alpha Kenneth. “Alpha Kenneth,” she said in greeting. “Maeve was teetering on your territory and I’m doing my services by taking care of the issue. She is my daughter after all and it’s my responsibility to make
She stared up at him and saw that he was serious, but she wasn’t so sure if he was right. She just hoped that her son made the right choice and didn’t break Maeve’s heart. …. Maeve’s POV The mansion was quiet; it was late in the evening, and I knew most of the mansion staff were sleeping, incl
Third Person POV The Queen and King remained in the garden a moment longer with Princess Mia. She had watched Xaden leave the gardens with a lungful expression on her face and then she sighed. The conversation wasn’t exactly how she planned; his viewpoints on certain topics were a bit alarming and
“Then what exactly were you trying to do exactly?” I asked him. “You didn’t really try to woo her now, did you?” “No…” he murmured, shuffling in his shoes. “I didn’t and that’s the reason I’m sorry. You have to pick up the slack because of me. Now she’s set to marry you…” “You knew about this?”
Xaden’s POV The more I spoke to Princess Mia the more bored I got. Sure, she was the princess of the Vixen territory, and she was a pretty badass warrior, but there weren’t many more interesting things about her. She was pretty basic, and the conversation became dull. The moment she started to a
I was completely alone, and I wasn’t sure what I was going to do. Hours had gone by, and I remained barricaded in my bedroom, unable to move from the bed. There was a light knock on the door, and I knew that it had to be Maggie with my food. “Miss Maeve, you should eat something,” she said from
Maeve’s POV For a moment, I wasn’t sure what to do. I stared at my fiancé telling another woman that he would only have a child out of royal duty. He sounded almost cold and calculating as he spoke. Mia nodded along with each word he said, a frown marring her lips and a small crease between her pe
A smile spread across my face as I read the paper and then I quickly rushed out of the room and back into the living room. Maggie was still seated on the couch, staring at the door with a worried expression, but she jumped when I ran into the room. “The results, Maggie,” I said, showing them to he
